A collection of truly moronic Craigslist postings. This image, for example, was accompanied by the following text: “Not sure what these are, they are too heavy to float, but they look like surf boards. They have legs under them like a very tall table. I think they are some sort of surf training tool. If you would like one or both of them, please let me know if you would like them.”

If you’re not in a college English class, you’re probably never going to read David Foster Wallace’s intimidating—but by all accounts brilliant—1,000+ page tome.
